JOHN PROWSE
[NOT KNOWN]



RESIDENCE & REAL ESTATE John was often called "of Chagford", Devonshire, England in some sources. This is a reference to the fact that he and his wife Maud received lands in Chagford from trustees in 1432[26]. However, there is considerable legal evidence that, by 1418, John Prowse of the manor at Dodderidge (also known as Higher Dodderidge), in Sandford, Devonshire, England was the joint patron (presumably with his wife, Maud) of the manor at Cruwys Morchard, just north of Poughill, Devonshire, England[6,22,23]. Incidentally, the manor house at Higher Dodderidge was noted as still habitable in 1909[23].
MARRIAGE John married Maud CRUWYS, daughter of John CRUWYS.

John's primary residence were the lands at Chagford, Devonshire, England[26]. He married Agnes BAMFIELD[26], daughter of Thomas BAMFIELD & Alice COPLESTONE.
